I was readinging impact of TiC reinforcement size on creep resistance of metal matrix composites, but i found two research papers which contradict each other. One says that particles with smaller sizes had a better reinforcement and higher creep resistance while the other said opposite. Which one of them is true?
Dear Harsh Khandelwal, the creep resistance of materials is improving due to strain stoppers. The particles are among them. To resolve the contradiction which you mentioned above we must take into account of reinforcing "skeleton" of filled material at whole.
The degree of stability of this reinforcing "frame" depends not only on sizes of particles but their interaction influencing by geometry and volume content of particles. I think that optimal (in sense of creep resistance) size and content values are existing and the results which have been reported in papers, probably, reflect this circumstance. Any case, the reading of these publications will be useful...
Best regards
